Ocean and Coupled Atmosphere/Ocean Models

This web page provides access to the computer code of several ocean and atmosphere models that are used within the CKO. Information on how to configure, compile, and run this software is also available.

The following table lists the models and their current level of support (see also the page on support levels).
Model Description Support Level
MICOM The Miami Isopycnic Coordinate Ocean Model (MICOM) is the first model that is made available from this web site. S1
ECBILT The ECBILT model is a coupled model suited for studying ocean-atmosphere dynamics on time scales of the order of thousand years. S1
SPEEDO The SPEEDO model is an intermediate complexity earth system model suited for studying ocean-atmosphere dynamics on time scales of the order of thousand years. It uses the primitive equations and runs without flux correction. S0
OPA OPA (Océan PAralléllisé) is an ocean model that can be applied to ocean basins as well as the global ocean. Only the global ocean version is available here. S1
GMODEL GMODEL is a linear shallow water model of the equatorial Pacific. S0

N.B. Members of the CKO are invited to extend this list. You can contact the author of this web page for this using the link below.
